Olbrich: Holiday express flower and model train show

December 6 – 31 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily
Olbrich’s Holiday Express – Flower and Model Train Show
Twinkling lights, festive poinsettias, tiny landscapes, and large-scale model trains: all aboard for Olbrich’s Holiday Express! Using large-scale model trains, Olbrich’s horticulture staff will showcase miniature landscapes among hundreds of colorful poinsettias. During Olbrich’s Holiday Express, members of the Wisconsin Garden Railway Society come from all over the state to show off their large-scale model trains. Local artist Tatiana Katara’s hand-made faerie cottages, back by popular demand, provide the imaginative setting for the trains. The faerie dwellings, from fantastical castles to tiny hamlets, are embellished with natural materials – from twigs and bark to seeds and leaves. Relax with friends and family and enjoy tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies available for purchase in the lobby. Olbrich’s photo depot also provides the perfect background for a holiday photo! Admission for Olbrich Botanical Society members is free. Admission to Olbrich’s Holiday Express for the general public is $3 for adults and $2 for children ages 3 to 12. Children 2 and under are free. Admission to the tropical Bolz Conservatory is included. For more information, visit Olbrich’s website at www.olbrich.org or call 608-246-4550.
